Senior Development Technologist
Food Manufacturing
Location: North Lanarkshire
Salary: £40,000 - £45,000
Some people say, “Don’t play with your food.” You say, “How else do you make it better?”
This role is for someone who lives and breathes product development. Someone who gets excited by the idea of turning a concept into something real, something tangible, and most importantly, something delicious.
You’ll be leading the development process from concept to launch, making sure every product not only tastes great but also meets customer expectations on quality, cost, and feasibility. Working closely with the Development Chef, NPD Manager, and wider teams, you’ll be the driving force behind new product launches, from initial feasibility meetings to full-scale production trials.
The business is growing and investing, which means fresh challenges, new ideas, and plenty of opportunities to put your mark on things. You’ll also manage and mentor an NPD Technologist, giving you leadership responsibility while still staying hands-on with development.
What do you need? A creative, food-loving mind, a solid understanding of the UK retailer development process, and the ability to juggle multiple projects at once. If you can confidently run factory trials, liaise with suppliers, and fine-tune every detail of a product before it hits the shelves, you’ll fit right in.
